Leicester are riding high in the Championship and have lost just once in their last eight league matches.

Nigel Pearson’s side will be hoping to gain promotion back to the Premier League this season, for the first time since 2004, and represent a potential banana skin for Pellegrini’s City.

And, following the incredible League Cup expeditions of Bradford City last season, who met Swansea in the final, they will feel that anything is possible.

Striker David Nugent, who has top-flight experience with Burnley and Portsmouth, has scored seven goals in 12 games this season, and will be the most likely danger man for Leicester.

Chelsea were rewarded for beating Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday with a trip to either Southampton or Sunderland in the next round, with their fourth round match to be played next week.

Jose Mourinho’s side will no doubt prefer to face the Black Cats who currently lie 19th in the Premier League, although their confidence was boosted by victory over Newcastle in last weekend’s Tyne and Wear derby.

Saints on the other hand are flying high this season having beaten Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield and snatched a last minute draw at Old Trafford.

Finally, Tottenham Hotspur were drawn against West Ham United in what is likely to be a feisty London derby, and potentially the most closely fought of the four encounters.
